	BAROQUE ART AND ARCHITECTURE,
		The Roman Catholic church was a highly influential patron, and its Counter Reformation, a movement to combat the spread of Protestantism, employed emotional, realistic, and dramatic art as a means of propagating the faith.
		Spanish architecture of the early baroque often continues the pattern of the muted severe style of the monastery-palace of El Escorial (1563–82) near Madrid, as in the Buen Retiro Palace (begun 1631, now destroyed) in Madrid.
		Italian taste is equally present in architecture, as in the former Jesuit church of Saint Charles Borromeo (1615–21, now a museum), in Antwerp.

	MSN Encarta - Bernini, Gianlorenzo
		Bernini's sculptural groups of the 1620s, however, such as the Abduction of Proserpina (1621-1622, Galleria Borghese, Rome) present the spectator with a single primary view while sacrificing none of the drama inherent in the scene.
		From the 1620s also date Bernini's first architectural projects, the façade for the church of Santa Bibiana (1624-1626), Rome, and the creation of the magnificent baldachin (1624-1633), or altar canopy, over the high altar of St Peter's Basilica.
		This project, a masterful feat of engineering, architecture, and sculpture, was the first of a number of monumental undertakings for St Peter's.

	Bernini and the Art of Architecture
		In 1594, when the dividing wall between the old and new fabric was removed and the still-standing Constantinian nave was joined to Michelangelo's crossing, the ciborium was replaced by an arrangement of eight columns and four pilasters with some sort of covering, but the exact composition remains unknown.
		His ambition was to redecorate the niches on the main level with over-life-size statues that would glamorize the presence of the relics while consigning celebratory altars to the realm of the crypt.
		Moving across the full width of the opening, the reverberations of concave entablature sections are bold assertions of an architecture that participates in the spirit of its figural context.

	Glossary: Baroque style
		Decorative style originating in Italy in the 1620s and characterized by monumental and dynamic sculptural forms and opulent effects.
		It represented the revival of the authority of the Roman Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation, and in the decorative arts was strongly influenced by contemporary painting, sculpture, and architecture.
		Although Classical architecture and sculpture remained the dominant influence in the Baroque, this was mingled with exotic elements, in particular chinoiserie.

		Although of lesser importance in Italy after about 1630, baroque naturalism continued to have an enormous impact throughout the rest of the century in all parts of Europe.
		Another turning point in the history of baroque painting took place in the late 1620s.
		The elegantly undulating facade of Borromini's San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (1665-1667) in Rome, with its convex and concave rhythms echoing those of the interior, might be called the quintessence of Italian baroque architecture.

	About Emerson Baker
		Having its origins in prehistoric times, the earthfast architectural practices employed in the Americas in the seventeenth century were directly descended from English peasant homes of the High Middle Ages.
		If semi-subterranean houses can be found in the architectural record of both the Chesapeake and Maine, perhaps it is not surprising to find other forms of earthfast buildings in both regions.
		From the 1620s through the 1640s Maine was granted to a series of proprietors.

	About Bernini and the Art of Architecture \| Abbeville Press
		The architecture of Bernini's Rome was largely shaped in the second half of the sixteenth century.
		Through the early 1620s Borromini assisted Maderno and extended the diversity of his inventions essentially to establish a new style of building manifest in the complex curves of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (begun 1634) and the geometry of Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza (begun 1642).
		Both of these churches were controlled in the smallest detail and developed in plan and elevation by this genius mason, carver, ironmonger, and architect.

		The architecture of the town dates from these years, starting with post-Colonial and Federal houses of large proportions, followed in turn by Greek Revival, Italianate and Mansard residences, reflecting continuing prosperity throughout the nineteenth century.
		The turn of the century brought with it the influx of summer residents and vacationers, whose impact on the community resulted in an economic renewal just as the shipbuilding industry was seeing its last days at the turn of the century.

		Saxon architecture is fairly rare and I think the only example we'd ever seen is the Saxon tower of St Michael at the North Gate in Oxford.
		It is basically the English version of Romanesque, an early medieval style of architecture found throughout Europe and most beautifully in France.
		However, after Gothic architecture was invented the simple old Norman stuff seemed outdated, so most churches were given major Gothic makeovers in the 13th to 15th centuries.

	Art Bulletin, The: Flemish Art and Architecture 1585-1700. - Review - book review
		Omitting printmaking as a separate art form while including architecture, however, ignores the Netherlandish prioritizing of painting, printmaking, and sculpture in favor of the sweepingly influential Italian system of classification popularized in the mid-16th century by Giorgio Vasari, the three arti del disegno.
		Architecture and sculpture, still neglected fields within Flemish art, are rightly relegated to the end of the book and written by Vlieghe himself, which maintains a consistency of approach.
		Stopping at 1700 eliminates the short section on the 18th century that felt like an awkward postscript to the main text in the original edition.

	Mohawk Iroquois Longhouse - Construction
		Its architecture and construction are adapted to the raw materials available to the Iroquois in their immediate surroundings, and to the tools and technology in their possession.
		Other detailed descriptions of Huron Iroquoian longhouses were recorded by missionaries, such as Gabriel Sagard-Theodat in the 1620s, and many Jesuit missionaries who also worked among the Hurons and their Iroquoian neighbors in New France in the 1630s and 1640s, and later among the Iroquois of New Netherland/New York though the end of the 1600s.
		Descriptions made by these explorers and missionaries record early changes to longhouse and longhouse village architecture introduced by the use of European metal tools, particularly, trade axes, and by Europeans themselves who at times remodeled longhouses for their own and special uses.

		Duhamel's greatest contribution was developing education programs for marine architecture and medicine, and he established several educational institutions devoted to these fields.

	On Burgundy's Chateaux Road / Among the vineyards, mansions offer old stories, new beauty

		Each reflects local architectural traditions -- half-timbered in the north and red-bricked in the south -- and those in other regions usually escape the tour-bus mobs that jam the courtyards and gardens of the Loire.
